"We are so excited to bring our first Perry's Steakhouse in Arizona to Gilbert," said Chris Perry, founder and owner of Perry's Restaurants. "From our roots as a humble meat market in Texas, we've grown to focus not only on great food, but also creating a unique dining experience for our guests. We look forward to calling the Phoenix-area home and welcome our new guests."
Elegant & Modern DesignPerry's Gilbert, designed in partnership with the renowned restaurant architect Aria Group Architects, Inc., will offer an expansive main dining room with views at every angle from a glance at chef creations in the kitchen to glimpses of Perry's Bar 79® through the towering wine wall. From the vibrant color palette to its exquisite use of glass, lighting, and other textures, every detail in the restaurant is selected to create an inviting environment to enjoy an intimate dinner, a business meeting, an elegant event….even Perry's Famous Pork Chop Friday Lunch (the only day of the week the steakhouse opens for lunch).
The new location also includes four beautifully appointed private dining rooms ideal for corporate functions and family celebrations, serving parties from 8 up to 80. A dedicated sales manager will assist guests with the specially-curated menus that can be tailored to any taste. Guests will revel in the energy at Perry's Bar 79®, named after the year Perry's was founded, and delight in sipping Perry's reserve wines and handcrafted cocktails at a dazzling island bar with glass walls that open to patio dining that will seat approximately 45 guests.
A Rare and Well Done® Dining ExperiencePerry's enjoys three key attributes that have become characteristic of the signature brand: the award-winning menu, the impeccable service, and the vibrantly elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere. For over four decades, Perry's has been skillfully carving up those three elements for its patrons to deliver an experience that is truly Rare and Well Done®.
Perry's has remained true to its roots with its butcher-fresh Prime USDA-Aged steaks, signature tableside carvings, flamed desserts, as well as its flagship menu item – a mouth-watering, seven-finger-high pork chop. Other fan favorites include signature steak additions as well as innovative seafood entrees created by Perry's Master Development Chef Rick Moonen, a Celebrity Chef, a member of the American Culinary Hall of Fame, and the nation's leading authority on sustainable seafood.
From Humble Butcher Shop Roots to Faithful FollowingMore than four decades ago, Perry's first restaurant was opened by Bob Perry in Houston in 1979 as a modest meat market called Perry's Butcher Shop and Deli. In 1986, his son Chris Perry persuaded his father to add dining tables, paving the way for an expansion and inspiring Chris to open Perry's Steakhouse & Grille in 1993.
Perry's Famous Pork ChopAn unexpected steakhouse specialty, Perry's Famous Pork Chop is a mouth-watering chop measuring seven fingers high — just as butchers measured back in the day. Sweet, smoky, sizzling, and gluten-free, the chop is butchered in-house, rubbed with proprietary seasoning, cured and roasted on a rotisserie with pecan wood for up to six hours. Upon order, the chop is glazed, caramelized and topped with Perry's Signature Steak Butter, then carved tableside (during dinner service only). A recipe perfected over four decades, the pork chop is plated as three portions: the "eyelash" (the most marbled, tender, melt-in-your-mouth section above the eye of the chop), three baby-back ribs and the center-cut loin.
Perry's iconic Pork Chop Friday® Lunch features a lunch-cut portion of the chop, whipped potatoes and homemade applesauce for $22 on Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (the only day of the week when Perry's is open for lunch service). The first Pork Chop Friday will be held on Friday, June 12, 2026. The pork chop lunch special is also available TO-GO every Friday from 10:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
